SAMPLE MOUNT AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME.

Application filed May 11,

My invention relates to a new and improved form of sample mount and sample card and an improved method for making the same.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a new and improved sample mount which shall be simple and economical to manufacture.

Another object of my invention is to provide a new and improved form of sample mount, together with a special form of sample card by means of which the ends of the sample mount are held in proper align: ment.

Another object of my invention is to provide a simple and economical. method of making a sample mount.

Other objects of my invention will be set forth in the following description and drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment thereof, it being understood that the above general statement of the objects of my invention is intended merely to generally explain the same, and not to limit it in any manner.

Fig. 1 is a front elevation showing several of the improved sample mounts combined with an improved sample card.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a rear mounts.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 55 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 7 is a rear view showing the parts of the sample mount detached. f

Fig. 8 is a top view of the form used for making the mounts.

Fig. 9 is a side elevation otthe device shown in Fig. 8.

view of one of the sample 10-10 of Fig. 9.

Fig. 10 is a sectional view on the line 1928. Serial No. 276,989.

ing the sheet of sample material pasted the mounts.

Fig. 14 is a sectional view on the line 14-14 of Fig. 13.

Fig- 15 is a topview of the blank, indieating the lateral cutting lines.

Fig. 16 is a sectional view indicating the severed mounts. r V

Fig. 17 is an elevation of one of the mounts.

The sample card C consists of a body portion having inwardly turned ends to form pockets P and P. The pockets P are provided with short vertical slits S, and the pockets P are provided with wider openings 0. The sample card C may be made of suitable paper which can be suitably cut or perforated before it is folded and pasted to produce .the article shown in the drawings. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the slits S and the openings 0 are on the front side of the sample card and the inner ends of the pockets P and P extend inwardly with respect to the said slits S and the said openin s0. 1

It has hereto ore been customary to make a sample mount b piece of card-boar having ears or tabs formed at the ends thereof, and pasting a strip, of cloth around the body portion of this mount.

According to my invention the mount comprises two end members E and E which can be made of card-board and are shaped in the ordinary manner so as to have ears or tabs which can fit into the slits S and the openings 0. The sample piece S which may be made of any suitable cloth, comprises a single thickness of material which is pasted to the inner ends of the members E and E. The end members E and E are firmly held in the pockets P and P sothat the piece of cloth S is maintained taut between them, giving the same appearance as the sample mount made in the ordinary manner. It is obvious that a substantial economy is effected by the invention because the cost of the card-board and the cost of the material used for making the samples is very much diminished.

I have shown rear views of the sample mounts in Fig. 1, to illustrate how the ends taking a continuous of the fabric are out zig-zag toenable the fabric to be conveniently pasted to the members E and E, but these zig-zag edges will not be seenflwhen the sample mounts are inserted in proper position. i

To conveniently and cheaply make the mounts, a form F, made of any suitable 1netal,is provided with longitudinally spaced pairs of lugs G.

Blanks B are placed upon the form as shown in Fig. 11, having integral ends E and E projecting between adjacent lugs, so that said ends E and E are aligned in pairs. A sample sheet S is now pasted upon the blanks B. The notches N of said blanks may be used as guides in pasting the sheet of notches N. This method produces a marked manufacturing economy, because the old method of manufacture made it necessary to paste each piece of sample fabric separately on its respective mount.

I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, but it is clear that numerous changes and omissions could be made without departing from its spirit.

I claim: c

In combination, a sample card having aligned pocket-s arranged in pairs, and a sample mount comprising a strip of cloth connected at its ends to separate tabs, said tabs being held in a pair of said pockets to keep said strip substantially taut.

In testimony whereof I aflix my si nature.
